Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:...List to the heavy part the music bears,"Woe weeps out her division when she sings."Droop herbs and flowers;Fall grief in showers;"Our beauties are not ours":Oh, I could still,Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,Drop, drop, drop, drop,Since nature's pride is, now, a withered daffodil.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

We look into the eyes to know if this other form is another self, and the eyes will not lie, but make a faithful confession what inhabitant is there.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

But I would emphasize again that social and economic solutions, as such, will not avail to satisfy the aspirations of the people u...nless they conform with the traditions of our race, deeply grooved in their sentiments through a century and a half of struggle for ideals of life that are rooted in religion and fed from purely spiritual springs.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I was a sophomore in college when everything went down the drain. I never thought it would happen. It was like the end of the worl...d. We had those great plush years. I remember the house. The kid's [sic] say, "Is that your house?" The schools we went to, Palm Springs, inviting your friends down for the weekends, swimming pools, fancy dresses. It was all tied up with my father. Finally I had to face my father being a real person.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that ...you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
